Easy way to use Spanish accents on Chromebook?

[Liji Waite]

The only way that I have found to use Spanish accents is by going to settings and setting the keyboard to Spanish.  The problem that I encounter is that I need to use my Chromebook for work and have to communicate with my colleagues in English.  So, when I want to type in English I have to go to settings and set the keyboard to English, then restart the Chromebook so the new settings take effect.  I have to repeat the process when I want to type in Spanish.  

There has to be a less cumbersome way to use Spanish accents.  Right?

Our students in Spanish classes use the US International Keyboard -- here is a post with more info and the shortcuts for specific accents: http://www.pocketables.com/2012/12/chrome-os-tip-change-the-keyboard-layout-quickly-to-access-foreign-characters.html
